Performed by Illyria:
Bursting onto the scene in 1992, Illyria has produced high-quality outdoor theatre for over thirty years. During that time, we’re proud to have continually introduced new genres which subsequently became much-loved staples of open-air theatre. In 1997, we were the first to offer children’s theatre. In 2000, we were the first to introduce classics other than Shakespeare. In 2003, we were the first to offer a Jane Austen adaptation. In 2010, we were the first to be given the professional rights to Roald Dahl scripts. In 2011, we were the first to produce Gilbert and Sullivan. In 2017, we were the first to tour with a full-size T-rex in a monster-movie homage. In 2018, we were the first to perform a full-scale musical. In 2019, we were the first to offer a rock opera. With a history of “firsts” behind us, Illyria continues to create outstandingly enjoyable outdoor theatre and make it available for everyone. We have performed for more than a million people - and intend to entertain families across the country for many more seasons to come.
